Find the distance from the gazebo to the dock.arrow_forward
- Distance to a Ship A ship is anchored off a long straight shoreline that runs north and south. From two observation points 18 miles apart on shore, the bearings of the ship are N 31 E and S 53 E. What is the distance from the ship to each of the observation points?arrow_forwardShadow Length A person who is 6 feet tall walks away from a 50-foot tower toward the tip of the tower’s shadow. At a distance of 32 feet from the tower, the person’s shadow begins to emerge beyond the tower’s shadow.
